The perfect spot for walkers, food lovers and water sports enthusiasts with a superb restaurant and pub, village shop and creek all within a short walk. The cottage adjoins the owners' family home, a historic former coach house and stables on the edge of the historic Trelowarren Estate. A quiet and tranquil setting where you can just listen to birdsong - an ideal environment for you to relax and recharge. With Litvinhoff and Fawcett handmade mattresses containing natural fillings and Egyptian cotton covers, mattress toppers for extra comfort and blackout lined curtains, hopefully you will sleep like a baby! Guests enjoy the private use of the courtyard garden which is a little sun trap and also great for star gazing on a clear night. Within walking distance is the Grade 1 listed St Mawgan Church which dates back to the 13th century, with the oldest parts being the nave and the octagonal, goblet shaped font. The beautifully preserved wooden roof dates from the 15th century. It is truly a wonderful place for a moment of peace and prayer. Up the road is Mawgan Stores, the village shop and Post Office. Don't be fooled by the compact exterior as it has a huge offering from your basic needs to some luxury products as well as much local produce, including the fantastically made Vicky's Bread (the focaccia being a firm favourite), Cornish Olive Stall, Roskilly's Ice Cream, their own brand coffee (which you can have fresh there), cheese and clotted cream (of course!), plants and an array of Cornish Gin and well stocked world wines selection. At the other end of the village is the Recreational Hall and Grounds. Here you can find play area for children and exercise equipment for the big children/adults. There are football goals too if you are in need for a kick around! On Thursdays 10-4.30 (last orders 4pm) there is the pop-up Gather Community Café in Mawgan Recreation Hall which is open to all, from local residents to day-trippers, babies to centenarians. A short ten minute walk and you can be at the old entrance into the Trelowarren Estate. This 1,000 acre estate is a beautiful gem, coined a 'jewel' by author Daphne du Maurier, is seeped in history. Here you will find the Halligye Fogou, the largest and best-preserved of several mysterious underground stone chambers or tunnels associated with Cornish Iron Age settlements and thought to be dated from the 4th or 5th century BC. ‘Fogous,’ a Cornish-language word meaning cave, are considered to have been places of refuge, storage chambers or ritual shrines. In the gorgeous stable yard of Trelowarren, is the Flora Cafe and New Yard Restaurant. Run by a lovely young couple, Tim and Louise, they serve delicious, seasonal food, from produce homegrown in the walled garden or from a network of small growers, farmers, fisherfolk and foragers. They have some incredible Scandinavian pastries that are delicious or raw chocolate bars for those trying to avoid dairy/refined sugar. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Heated pool - Outdoor pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV - Stereo - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Handrails in stairways - Hardwood flooring in public areas - Smooth flooring in public areas - Thin carpet in public areas - Tile flooring in public areas - Upper floors accessible by stairs only - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near the sea - On a river ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Bicycle parking - Foosball table - Heated pool - Table tennis - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Theme park nearby ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bicycle parking - Bulk dispensers for toiletries - Composting - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Eco-friendly toiletries - Garden - Recycling ## Similar properties ![Beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34720000/34716700/34716669/71e1cbfb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Family friendly cottage close to Praa Sands beach Helston - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 24 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-05&endDate=2026-01-06&selected=34716669&PinnedHotelID=34716669&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33600000/33590700/33590643/c9537e7d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Moonsail in Cadgwith Cove- sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms Cadgwith 9.6 Exceptional 15 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-05&endDate=2026-01-06&selected=33590643&PinnedHotelID=33590643&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, dishwasher](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/88000000/87030000/87022600/87022583/34eb719f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Barn Cottage @ Arrowan Common Farm Coverack - Kitchen - Pet friendly - Free WiFi - Outdoor Space 9.0 Wonderful 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-05&endDate=2026-01-06&selected=87022583&PinnedHotelID=87022583&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/92000000/91700000/91696100/91696046/e85be4a5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 8 Beach Court - Sleeps 2 - Central St Ives St Ives - Kitchen - Free WiFi - Microwave - Living/Dining area [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-05&endDate=2026-01-06&selected=91696046&PinnedHotelID=91696046&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![1 bedroom, Egyptian cotton sheets, iron/ironing board, free WiFi](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/28000000/27170000/27167900/27167808/dc646643.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 17th Century Cottage In St Ives, Cornwall.

Enjoyed body boarding, paddle boarding, sandcastle building and rock pooling.We also had a lovely evening crabbing at Porthleven and a sunset walk at Lizard Point.Thank you for sharing your piece of Cornish heaven with us, we highly recommend a stay in the cottage at Glebe Hall.Jan and the boys. ##### Janine M.
